If you’re ending 2025 without any wins and you own a smartphone…
This message is for you.

Please come closer. Sit down. Read this slowly.

Many people are praying for breakthrough, not realizing that the tool God may use to change their lives is already in their hands—their smartphone.

📱

In 2021, shortly after my father’s burial, I used part of the condolence money we received to buy my first smartphone.

I had:

* No mentor
* No guidance
* No connections

Just pain… and a deep hunger to change my life.

The first thing I did with that phone was register for the Confucius Institute in UNIZIK to learn Chinese language (remote).

Then I asked myself a simple question:
“What opportunities are currently available in Nigeria?”

That search led me to The Next Titan.

I applied.
I was shortlisted.
I attended the audition.
And I eventually qualified for a ₦250,000 grant.

From a WhatsApp group formed during The Next Titan, I discovered another opportunity— Whitefield Foundation Entrepreneurial & Employability Skills Training.

I applied again.
I got selected again.

While taking those courses and examination, I was also preparing for my Chinese HSK1 exam—at the same time.

Results?

* 97% in Chinese HSK1
* 94% in the Whitefield training

I completed the Whitefield project and received a ₦25,000 grant, which I used to start my liquid soap business in 2022.

Towards the end of that year, I won the Grooming Endowment Trust research grant of N100,000, built on the skills I gained from learning Chinese—and secured several other wins.

Then something changed.

I created my first WhatsApp group, where I began sharing opportunities and guiding people step-by-step on how to apply and win.

By 2023, winning opportunities had become a monthly routine.

Let me say this clearly:

👉🏽 God used my first smartphone to liberate me and my family from extreme poverty.

Not because the phone was special—but because I chose to use it intentionally.

Some people started using Android phones long before me…
but most of their screen time goes into:

* Movies
* Endless chats
* Memes
* Laughing, scrolling, and passing time

No skills.
No leverage.
No growth.

If this post is speaking to you, pause and tell yourself:

> “By 2026, my life must change.”
> “I will make intentional use of my smartphone.”

Time is not waiting for anyone.

I’ll soon be opening a mentorship class where I’ll break down—practically and honestly—how I used my smartphone and intellect to multiply opportunities and income.

📌 If you’re interested, comment “I am interested” below.
I’ll share the details shortly.

This might be the post you look back at in 2026 and say:
“That was the moment I decided to change.”

Your smartphone is not the problem.
What you do with it is.

✨ From Waste to Beauty and Displacement to Dignity. ✨

As a Western Union Global Fellow 2025, I’m proud to announce my upcoming #Basecamp, hosted through my organization, #TeamUpcyclers — where we transform waste into wealth and opportunity.

This October, we’re bringing two powerful experiences to life 👇


🌿 1️⃣ The Healing Corner – Physical Basecamp

📍 Durumi IDP Camp Abuja, Nigeria
🗓️ October 11, 2025 | 9 AM – 12 PM WAT

We’re co-creating a safe space with 50 displaced women and youth, transforming waste into beauty and healing.

Using plastics, bottles, and textile waste, we’ll build a Healing Corner — a space to rest, reflect, and create.
Here, participants will:
🎨 Craft artworks and cultural pieces.
🌿 Learn to make reusable sanitary pads.
💚 Reconnect with dignity and hope.



🌍 2️⃣ TeamUpcyclers Graduate Scholarship Fair 2025 – Virtual Basecamp

🗓️ October 12, 2025 | 4–6 PM WAT

A day after, we’ll host 100+ participants (and counting!) from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, USA , Canada, United Kingdom, and several other countries for our online Graduate Scholarship Fair — connecting displaced and underserved youth to global education opportunities.

Two outstanding participants will receive application or English test fee waivers, and all will gain mentorship from global scholars and EducationUSA alumni.

This Basecamp is more than a project,
it’s a movement of resilience, creativity, and possibility.

I’m grateful to Western Union and Watson Institute for empowering us to build solutions that heal and uplift.

Because when creativity meets opportunity, even the displaced can rise. 💚
